I have a 54cm and it fit mine... You'll have to adjust the cable and potentially shorten the housing based on personal preference but you should be fine yes.

You need to measure the distance from where you're going to mount it to the floor and see if at its full extension it covers that space. It didn't work for my bike since the rear is mount on a shock and it angles the rear suspension slighty up increasing the distance so it was short by a couple of inches.

Yes it can. Check with your owners manual to make sure the weight is correct for your bike.

I think you should be fine. The wheelbase is pretty wide. The spring is pretty stiff, so, it won't allow you to lean back that far anyway.

Ask at your local bike shop, I think there's something called a "stem extender" that might work.

If someone sets it up properly for you, it will not hurt your back. I have a bad hip and cannot take much pressure on it and the bike is good. The handle bars come towards the rider. Good luck. It is a lovely bike. Have you considered toe smaller version of the bike? It may work better. My shorter friend has it, she loves it.

I really think it depends on your chainstay clearance, chainring and crank arms. What I did to figure that out was to use websites like this one: http://sheldonbrown.com/chainline.html to figure out what length bottom bracket best worked for my bike. If you are running a triple, you should be at 45 (I'm assuming you are because you specifically asked about a chainline of 45), but a double should be 43.5mm...and on and on depending on your bike and gearing. You can also adjust the spacers on the back axle as well, but this shouldn't be necessary if you know that your rear (sprocket end) is at 45mm, which is what you are trying to achieve (explained here: http://www.velodromeshop.net/index.php?p=page&page_id=chainline). Sorry, not an easy yes or no answer. Just check those sites out and do the measurements and you should be ok. Hope I helped...good luck!

My old Diamondback Resonse has 26" x 1.95" knobby tires. I put the bike on the stand with 1 1/2" blocks under the front and rear tires to simulate 29" tires. It gave me about 3/4" clearance at the rear tire and it spun freely. It will probably work on your 29" tires. Hope this helps with your decision!

The hose is long enough for a large bike, but I managed to adjust it along the bike without cutting it. Be aware that you will need a speed changer if you have one of those with integrated brake calliper. The rear breake is attached to the ledt calliper, I did not read the small text. Now I am getting used to it.

Yea u could. But go slow to make sure ta bike doesn't fall ova the other way.

It isn't just a matter of gearing as some are suggesting here...Fixed gear bikes often have a narrower rear dropout (like 110 or 120 mm vs. 130 or 135mm).

Yes a back brake. If you buy this bike make sure the front frame is not bent. I recommend an American made bike not this one from China

I measured and when the seat is in the lowest position and the pedal is in the down position it is 2feet 7inches away. So as long as your legs are that long you should be good.

I think it would depend on how big the handlebar is & the placement of the breaks.

I would not think so because the part that locks the basket to the bike is at the top of the basket so it would hit the back tire unless the seat was up pretty high.

I'm 5'9 it's not easy on the back because I'm hunched over. You should be more concerned with wieght I'm 280 and the bike creaks and squeaks and doesn't feel to secure. I don't think you will happy with the dimensions of the bike

yes. anyone over 6 feet might find this bike to be a bit small. in my opinion.
